Angels Struggle with Player Performance and Payroll
News summary

The Los Angeles Angels' investment in Anthony Rendon has not paid off, as he has played just 247 out of 667 games since signing a seven-year, $245 million contract. Despite being the highest-paid third baseman, Rendon has struggled significantly, hitting no home runs in 211 plate appearances and recording a disappointing .586 OPS. The Angels have cycled through 28 third basemen since 2020, the most in MLB, highlighting their struggles at the position. Meanwhile, the team's performance has led to frustrations among fans, particularly as they project a payroll exceeding $175 million yet have a record similar to the low-budget Oakland A's. Rendon and Mike Trout, who has also spent significant time on the injury list, both feature on the 'All-Overpaid Team' due to their underwhelming contributions relative to their contracts. The Angels' ongoing difficulties raise questions about their future and player management strategies.
